Hi, DH started off with hunting/camping knives and has moved into kitchen
knives. He prefers to do 1 of a kind custom knives but has found high end
steak knives to be particularly lucrative :-) Pictures can be seen at

Hi. This is a great idea for the start of a new year!

I'm Marilyn (online as Marigold). I am married for the 3rd and LAST time
to
a wonderful guy who is also married for the 3rd and last time! Between
us we
have 16 children ( I have 5 biological, he has 5 biological and the
other
six were picked up in second marriages but we've kept them all!) They
range
in age from 12 to 32. None of them live with us at present, but you
never
know what tomorrow might bring. We are now at 18 grandchildren (last one
born Dec 1 2004). We have two dogs (golden retrievers) and 1 calico cat.

I have been sewing as long as I can remember(long time!) Made several
baby
quilts back in the early 70's but didn't really think of it as quilting
because it wasn't cutting up scraps! Apparently thats what I thought
quilting was about! I finally made my first scrap quilt about 1982. The
hard
way! It is not a work of art! I had no instruction, just cut up squares
of
scraps and outgrown kids clothes, stitched them all together in long
rows
and then stitched the long rows together, layered it with batting and an
old
sheet and attempted to manuever it through my sewing machine to stitch
in
the ditch. It's not something I show off, but it sure holds memories! It
was
a long painstaking process and almost finished my life as a quilter.
Then I
was introduced to a rotary cutter, strip piecing and all the modern
miracle
ideas for quilting and now I can't seem to get enough. I want to try it
all
!

I am currently finishing my third denim (blue jean scrap) quilt since
Nov. I
did a baby quilt in Nov. and sewed several xmas presents that were not
quilts. I'm looking for ideas for a wedding quilt for my biological DS
#1
who is getting married in the summer??? (No date yet!)

My husband is a knife maker and together we operate an online webstore
for
his knives and knife making supplies. We also have a web hosting
business. I
am currently looking at ideas for a quilters gift site (any ideas would
be
welcome??) I do t-shirt imprinting, specializing in quilters themes and
knifemakers sayings.
I also do the leatherwork to go with my husbands knives. What I want to
try
next is button making from the scraps of exotic wood from his knife
handles.... Kind of like quilting..... using up scraps??

I don't post on here often, but when I'm feeling cut off from the world
( We
live an hour from anywhere in a village of 400 people and I don't have a
car
on the road right now!) reading the posts makes me feel like I'm still
part
of the world.

Happy New Year to All !
Great quilting in 2005

As newbies come and introduce themselves, we all say "hi" back to them.

But,

while we learn a bit about them, they don't get to know us very easily.

I know a couple of sisters who are named Baby Doll and Doll Baby. Having
worked in OB in the late 70's to mid 80's and helping parents fill out birth
certificate forms, I have seen some real doozies. One mother named her baby
Buzz Saw.

Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm 31 and I live in Durham City in the UK. I've been
with DH for 15 years, but married for only 5 yrs. I have 1 DS who is
26months and dynamite on 2 legs! In my previous life I was production
manager for a small manufacturing company, but I took the decision to be
a full time mum. I do some volunteer work to keep my brain working. I
also enjoy researching my family tree.

I like yellow and blue, and bright quilts but I'm only a beginner. I've
been quilting for just over a year and mainly lurk here.

My aim for this year is to do a small wall hanging each month using a
different technique / style. I've just got so many ideas buzzing around
that I'll never find time to do large quilts in them, so I'm going to
play with small A4 to A3 sized quilts.

Sarah

Sarah, Durham is the next town over from me. But my Durham is in North
Carolina, US! G What are size A4 to A3 quilts? Miniatures?

THere were some sisters (maybe twins) in Oklahoma,
daughters of UofOK fans, named Sooner and Boomer.
I had a neighbor with two girls with 'coordinating'
names. One was Misty Dawn and the other name escapes my
memory. Heather something? Something Rae? This was in
early 70's. Interesting!

The actress Blythe Danner, Gwyneth's mother, stated in
an interview I believe it is more common to name
children after fruit in the United Kingdom. (More or
less what she said.) I've met a few American women
named Cherry, but no other fruit names.
How about it, oh British friends? Are you using lots of
fruit names over there? How about nuts?

The name Quince comes to mind.. in the form of Quincey... that is what my
cousin named one of his sons. I dont remember the other sons name...
Current? Lingonberry, Mincemeat, perhaps?
